One sheet vintage travel poster, titled
"Oslo: 900 years 1950", was designed by the artist A. O. Brunn. The artwork was created for the Municipality of Oslo to commemorate the city's 900th anniversary in 1950.
The poster is a lithograph that depicts an ancient Viking warrior, often identified as King Harald III (Harald Hardrada), who founded Oslo around 1048 AD. This historical figure is shown on horseback, seemingly hovering over or overlooking a modern, nighttime view of the 1950 city of Oslo below, which highlights the city's deep historical roots and its modern identity. |
